392 Didnst Expect It, Right? (1/2)
Being a savior was not good at all.
No matter how many good elixirs there were, one day, it would be depleted. Using elixirs to hang on to life was basically an impossible method. However, Wang Lu's gesture at this time was eerily moving.
Regardless of the cost, even if the flood overflowed the sky, there was no hesitation to bring the enemy down together!
”In the end, you could not hold on.” Yunkongjun said in a sinking voice, ”Contained within the poison that entered her body is a trace of my original refinement, and now it has already gone deep into her soul and penetrated her bone marrow. Unless I die, otherwise, no one can completely remove the poison.”
Wang Lu sneered. ”Let's just wait and see. I would like to see how much long can an old demon that should've been dead a long time ago live!”
Yunkongjun immediately couldn't maintain his calm. ”You're courting death! She has already been poisoned by my strange poison, so it's impossible for her to continue the royal bloodline. When she dies, this stele will immediately collapse, then I will regain freedom! By then, I will make you unable to die a natural death!”
Wang Lu, however, simply no longer cared for him. In Wang Lu's view, talking to a person who was certain to die would only waste his breath. After a period of time, when the suppression force of the stele became even more stable, Yunkongjun would not even able to speak, so why should he care about a dog barking?
To make his stance even more clear, Wang Lu directly controlled his flying sword to fly towards the bottom of the bed and about to lead Princess Yunyue—now Queen Yunyue back. After bringing Yunyue back to Yunyang City, he had to let her rule her kingdom, which might take a long time, far exceeding what he originally anticipated. However, since it has come to this, Wang Lu no longer cared about that. He would not do things halfway. Since he had started this story, he must play it to the end and win.
”Very good.”
When Wang Lu turned around, he heard a faint, vague voice of Yunkongjun.
”Work hard on her, try to use your elixir to continue her life. If you really can keep her alive until the day I die, then you win. However, if you can't, when I get out of this, I swear I will crush everything in Cloud Country. I will spread the most vicious and terrifying poison in the mountains and rivers, so that this land will not give birth to any grass for thousands of years. I will completely cut off the foundation of Cloud Country so that everyone in this land will feel pain and despair in their eventual demise. And while I am still in dormant state under the stele, I will also constantly curse this country and curse this land. And I will use my strength to infiltrate outside to corrode the Cloud Country little by little. You will see droughts, floods, locusts, plagues… constantly erupt in the country. When you use elixirs to keep her alive, I will, little by little, push everything that you cherish into the abyss.”
Wang Lu let out a sneer, not paying any attention to him at all. However, at this time, Princess Yunyue, on the soft bed, slowly propped herself up, and with a weak, yet firm voice said, ”Yunkongjun, do you really want to put such a vicious curse to the country that you single-handedly created? Why?”
Yunkongjun laughed. ”They are all my things, so I can do whatever I want with them. I single-handedly founded the Cloud Country, so naturally I can single-handedly destroy it!”
”No, you never have such authority!”
In Wang Lu's surprised eyes, Princess Yunyue stood up, and, though slightly trembling, still stayed erect. Moreover, her beautiful face was now as cold as ice.
”In a thousand years, through the effort of dozens of generations, this country no longer belong to you as a private property. You have no right to tell us what to do, you are not qualified to be in charge of our life and death!”
Yunkongjun coldly said, ”Qualification has never been the reason for this. I am bent on cursing this piece of land, what can you, a virtuous and holy sovereign kin, do about it?”
Wang Lu shrugged his shoulders. ”Why would you want to waste your breath on this brutish waste? Let's go back and we'll think of the countermeasure. If there's a way for you to give birth to a child, we will crush him with the infinite children and grandchildren method.”
Princess Yunyue smiled but shook her head, then she slowly but firmly took a few steps forward, coming down from the soft bed. Only when she stepped her foot on the ground did Wang Lu finally realized that something was not right. Surprised, he reached out to stop her. ”Don't do something stupid!”
However, it was too late. Princess Yunyue has already made her choice, no longer he was able to change it. When Wang Lu grasped Yunyue's hand, he only touched a puff of mist.
”You…”
Yunyue turned her head and gently smiled. Her body seemed as light as the wind as her graceful footsteps left the floor, like a fluttering evil spirit.
”Immortal, just now you said that I possess the heavenly spirit root, but now I feel like I have truly become a heavenly spirit root.”
With that, countless petals from the forest on the periphery of the royal tomb suddenly came in like waves and converged into a group under Yunyue's feet, taking the shape of a magnificent whirlpool. Yunyue smiled, took a deep breath, and then suddenly raised her head. The petals under her feet pushed her up, soaring into mid air.
